Significant Year-Over-Year Cost Savings<\/strong><\/span><\/h1><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to a report by the <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nlc.org\/\">National League of Cities<\/a> (NLC), counties are still recovering from the Great Recession and shouldering much of the country\u2019s residual economic burden. This translates into smaller budgets and an urgent need to cut costs, find efficiencies, and do more with less. Our hosted VoIP phone system checks all of these boxes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For starters, our hosted VoIP phone system runs on an existing data network infrastructure.\u00a0 As such, county governments eliminate the high costs of purchasing, supporting, maintaining, and periodically replacing a separate voice network infrastructure, which is comprised of PRIs, bonded T1s, or other trunk lines that are required to connect their on-premises private branch exchange to the local telephone company.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition, adding new employees to the system and giving them a unique, designated number\/extension is affordable and fast, and can be done in a matter of minutes \u2014 instead of making an appointment and waiting days or weeks for a conventional phone company technician to come on-site and reconfigure the PBX. Scaling down is just as cost-effective, and phone numbers can move with employees who are transferred to other offices.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On top of this, there are no domestic long-distance fees, built-in video calling significantly reduces travel expenses, and there is no need to hire VoIP specialists as all technical support is handled by our experts. Predictable, fixed billing also makes it much easier to plan and control budgets and spending.<\/span><\/p><h1><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>2. Empowering Remote Workers<\/strong><\/span><\/h1><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to the <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slge.org\/\">Center for State and Local Government Excellence<\/a>, 22% of state and local governments offer telecommuting for eligible positions, such as <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dconc.gov\/government\/departments-f-z\/information-services-technology\/dco-work-from-anywhere\">Durham County, NC<\/a> which provides staff with multiple methods for working outside of the office. And according to research from\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20150623005073\/en#.VYmhfEZB58m\">IDC<\/a>, the number of remote workers in the U.S. is expected to reach 105.4 million by 2020.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our hosted VoIP phone system keeps remote workers \u201cin the loop\u201d through a lightweight app on their smartphone (BYOD, COPE, or CYOD). They can make and receive calls, chat with colleagues, transmit files, and participate in video conferences. And just as important for security and privacy, outgoing calls display the county government\u2019s caller ID information \u2014 not the individual employee\u2019s caller ID information.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition, remote workers can forward calls to any number \u2014 including home office landlines \u2014 and seamlessly transfer live calls from one device to the next. For example, they can answer a call in the office, transfer it to their mobile phone as they walk to the parking lot, and transfer it again to their car\u2019s Bluetooth system as they drive away.<\/span><\/p><h1><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>3. Supporting Compliance, Security, and Privacy<\/strong><\/span><\/h1><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While cutting costs and empowering remote workers are important, it goes without saying that these benefits cannot compromise or undermine compliance, security, and privacy. The good news is that our hosted VoIP strengthens and supports these critical objectives.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For example, authorized administrators can record and monitor all calling activity for both auditing and quality assurance purposes. In addition, all calls are encrypted from IP handsets into a secure network, and all information is protected in carrier-grade data centers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We also go further to protect county governments through several integrated strategies and technologies, including next-generation security gateways, and comprehensive\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/telecommunications-fraud-management-what-it-is-and-how-were-preventing-it\/\">fraud management<\/a> strategies that proactively detect and prevent misuse \u2014 whether accidental or intentional. Plus, our in-house team of telecommunications and security experts is on the job and ready to respond 24\/7\/365. While our knowledge is global, and our service is LOCAL.<\/span><\/p><h1><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>4. Establish Business Continuity During Emergencies<\/strong><\/span><\/h1><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As noted by the <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gfoa.org\/business-preparedness-and-continuity-guidelines\">Government Finance Officers Association<\/a> (GFOA): Governments face many types of unscheduled disruptions to business operations. Disruptions to business operations may come from a variety of causes such as natural or manmade disasters, terrorism, and technology failures. Threat situations, domestic attacks, and natural disasters all present challenges to maintaining business operations.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Governments have a responsibility to minimize disruptions in the services they provide. Many government services are essential to public health and safety and to the protection of property. Disruptions in those essential services may range from temporary inconvenience to significant harm to individuals and the community. Governments also have the responsibility for mitigating the effects of disasters on the communities they serve.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our hosted VoIP phone system establishes business continuity \u2014 either briefly or for extended periods of time, such as when <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/urgent-news-hurricane-florence-update-and-customer-advisory\/\">Hurricane Florence battered North Carolina<\/a> in September 2018. For example, we utilize a geographically dispersed cloud infrastructure with multiple data centers, leverage automatic failover, and provide around-the-clock performance monitoring.<\/span><\/p><h1><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>5. Improve Citizen Engagement<\/strong><\/span><\/h1><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to research by <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/public-sector\/our-insights\/implementing-a-citizen-centric-approach-to-delivering-government-services\">McKinsey &amp; Company<\/a>, many citizens get frustrated when calling government offices because they must speak with multiple parties before their questions are answered, or their requests are completed. This leads to chronic disengagement and mistrust, which cuts at the core of county government missions and mandates.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our hosted VoIP phone system is designed to improve citizen engagement and close the information gap. For example, citizens can use interactive voice response (IVR) menus to quickly reach their desired agency, team, or individual. At the same time, county governments can quickly and easily create custom auto-attendant greetings to inform citizens about evergreen news (e.g. business hours and locations) and breaking news (e.g. updates on weather advisories and emergencies).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Furthermore, voicemails can be sent to employees as audio text files, which improves response times and also creates a record for reference and compliance purposes. Employees can also check the status of their colleagues at-a-glance (e.g. available, away from the desk, etc.) before transferring a call.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><h1><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h1><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">County governments are under relentless pressure to:<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Find new, better, and bigger cost-saving opportunities<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Empower remote workers<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Meet compliance, security, and privacy standards<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Establish business continuity during emergencies<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Improve citizen engagement<\/strong><\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our state-of-the-art, flexible and affordable hosted VoIP phone system does ALL of the above \u2014 which is why county governments trust and recommend us.
